The self-balancing pedals add extra stability, and the cushioned seat ensures comfort during longer sessions without fatigue or discomfort.

How much space does the Life Fitness RS1 Recumbent Bike require?

We recommend measuring your available floor area before purchasing and leaving additional clearance around the bike for safe entry and exit.
